Key takeaways
  • 1. Build the Egg Incubator inside the breeding base
  • 2. Fix the temperature first
  • 3. Run several incubators in parallel
  • 4. Batch-collect on a timer

1. Build the Egg Incubator inside the breeding base

Short walks between farm and incubator matter once you are hatching dozens of eggs.

2. Fix the temperature first

Add a Heater or Cooler beside the incubator so the comfort indicator stays satisfied through day and night cycles.

3. Run several incubators in parallel

A breeding chain produces eggs faster than one incubator clears them; three or more keeps the pipeline moving.

4. Batch-collect on a timer

Return between sessions rather than watching a single egg — the farm keeps laying while you are away.

5. Sort eggs by target

Label chests by chain so species eggs and passive-chain eggs do not get mixed up.
